Rev. DR.. Emerson's article is an out

or notifications in the old theology
which have come from sources outside
Of direct theological research. The old
belief in the creation of the world in
six successive days, each of twenty
four hours, flor example), gave way be-
fore the Investigations of the crust of
the earth by Sir Charles Lyell. The
new exegesis of the first chapter of
Genesis, which is now so generally &C.
cepted, making the "days'' creative
epochs of uncertain duration, is largely
the result of an independent line of re-
search, and comes under the head of
what DR.. Emerson styles Exterior

given of theological disintegration caus-
ed by incidents of philosophical and
ethical study, apart from and without
the special field of theology. The arti-

THE ELLIS MEMORIAL.

The advertisement on the fifth page

The volume has been prepared under
editorial charge of the editor of THE
UNIvERsALIsT. 1t embraces a men,

lamented friend and pastor, whose

caused such widespread sorrow in our
church.

hurt the society to great extent. Since
then 1 have worked herd to recover the
lost ground.
In hopes OF accomplishing this end,
commenced a series of meetings on the
evening of Dec. 81, and continued them
until the evening of January I'd. The
weather was cold. Our meetings started
out well and increased rapidly until the
last. More good was accomplished than
/ anticipated; but there is much work yet
for me to do. 1t is not to be inferred that
there is, or was, dissension in the church;
only the seeds of Encouragement had
been sown to our hurt. Two members
were added during the meeting.
Rev. Elihu Moore.
Rev. Elihu Moore was present and
greatly added to the interest OF the meet
ings by his wise and fatherly counsele.
BY request of the church he continued
the meetings after left. ALI of Father
Moore's friends (they are legion) will be
glad to learn that his health is better
and he seems to be growing stronger.
He preached Universalism in this State
for forty years, and planted more church
es than any other man. If all the
churches in the State would render him
one half the assistance that my churches
at Miami City and Palestine have done
during the last nine months, Father
Moore would have enough to keep him
during the remainder of his life.
The Palestine church has large at
tendance of the young. The choir is ex-
cellent, being composed of about forty
members. The young people take an
active interest in the conference and
prayer meetings. They not only lead in
these meetings, but greatly excel in the
art OF speaking. There are young work.
ers in this church who will yet be heard
in the councils Of our church.
Rev. Alfred Day.
Iwrite this letter from the home of Br.
Day, who is one Of the happy, contented
ministers. A few years ago, he was &C.
lively engaged in tie ministry, and prov
ed himself a regular church resucitator.
Unfortunately for us the Spencerian
Business College wanted a teacher of
stenography. Br. Day was strongly
recommended by Prof. A. J. Graham,
who insisted that he was the best teacher
in America. Br. Day was engaged. In
less than year his salary was raised three
times. His pay is promptly given. Now
he is superintendent OF stenography and
caligraphy, having full charge of his de-
partment He has not given up the idea
of ministerial work, but at present is too
actively engaged in his special duties to
enter upon the other. His work on stem
ography will soon be ready for the press.
Those who are competent of judging and
have examined the MS, speak in the
most complimentary terms of this pro-
duction.

ship in church.
Have sufficient faith? That is very
trying subject; and, think, no more
about it can be we'll expressed in public
at this time. may say more about it in
a future letter.
Let me add, that in the second number
Of the Serial Revision OF my Forensic
View published by The Ernest Institute
at Washington, reaffirms what is affirmed
in my communication of last year to
The UNIvERsALIsT. The Introductory
part of that second number reads as fol.
lows:
at is plain on nomologic principles, that
there ought to be no union of Church and
State. But does it follow that the State shall
not discern the calls of the religious senti-
ment, and thereupon allow unto obedience
to them, all the liberty that it can safely have?
My answer IL carefully considered and de-
termined no! Religion has ineffably impor-
tant jural aspects and political relations.
The ideal being that we call the State is
not, indeed, obliged-it can not be obliged,
since it has not the capability-to worship
God. 1t is not in the least a 'praying ma
chine such as that (if remember rightly
Hue describes as piously but foolishly in use
in Thibet and in Tartary. 1t is a mere po-
litical continuance, of the kind supposed by
Jefferson in what he taught respecting Gov
eminent.
"Let me avow that though I am, in poll
tics, perfect Independent, if there be one
on this earth, am. on principle, Jefferso-
MAN Democrat. Particularly am / such
Democrat as to my views and sentiments
respecting Church and State.

to matters of religion. Nothing can be more

dications that the civil right to worship God

has taught, God is a man-made Creature,

DWIGHT L. MOODY is now engaged
in revival work in this city. Meetings
are held every night in DR.. Goodwin's
church, with overlooking congregations,
and the interest in the services is in
creasing. Chicago always gives Mr..
Moody a cordial welcome and an earn
est hearing. He deserves it. While
we abominate many of the doctrines
that Mr.. Moody breaches, we recognize
the fact that he is sincere, earnest and
manly Christian, devoted to the welfare
of his fellow-men, and anxious above
all things to do them good. Such
man, fairly alive with the true evangel-
ical spirit, can do Chicago substantial
sc rvice.

THE QUESTION of orthodoxy among
professors of theology, remarks the
Times, of this city, is commanding at
tention the civilized world over. The
Andover difficulty is experienced in
Germany, in France, in Switzerland,
and in Scotland. On the one side there
are those who insist upon broader the
illogical basis. On the other side there
are those who say that the teaching
from the theological chairs must be
consistent with the rules regulating
such foundations and with the objects
for which they exist. At st. Andrews,
Scotland, Principal Cunningham in his
opening lecture, called for larger lat
itude of opinion. DR.. Story, the new
professor of church history, at Glasgow,
in his inaugural, advocated very strong
Iy the emancipation of university the
illogical teaching from the tests at pres
ent existing. He demands entire free
dom. Prof. Flint, at Edinburgh, while
opposed to any arrangement which
would multiplyOr Intensity restrictions,
expressed his belief that theology, if
taught on DR.. Stery's plan, would be
out of the Scottish universities,
fer the simple reason that there would
be no demand for 1t.

REV. JULIAN x. sMYTH NOT AN "0R-
THODOX" PREACHER.

We cheerfully give place to the follow
ing note from Rev. Julian X. Smyth, of
Boston. 1t explains itself. The author
OF Footprints of the Saviour" para
graph from which we made the text of an
article few weeks ago, is not as we stated
an orthodox clergyman, but disciple of
Swedenborg. A more careful reading Of
the volume would perhaps have made
this fact evident. We regret the error
and hasten to lay Mr.. Smyth's note be-
fore our readers.
To the Editor of The Uniuersalist.
DEAR SIR-I have read your thoughtful ar
ticle entitled, ga Reinstatement which Re-
linquishes" dec. 1877, suggested bymy book,
Footprints of the Saviour" You regard
the book as an example of this point, namely
shat in attempting to recast old doctrines.
the very doctrines themselves are cast aside
as having outgrown their usefulness" and
you say with reference to what have written
on the sacrifice of Christ that l "boldly
plant [myselfJ on what III may regard as a
new statement of the mediation, but which
is actually a REIMBURSEMENT of the common
doctrine of the orthodox church on this sub
ject." While thanking you for your appreci-
alive and kind words, will you at the same
time permit me to remove possible misap-
prehenson by saying that am not minis
ter of the so-called 'orthodox" church. /
am glad that the doctrine of the book ap-
peals to you as "approximating more closely
to the New Testament truth of the reconcile
ation." The church at large, however,
through some cause, has in times past given
but slight consideration to this doctrine. You
will understand this, perhaps, when add
that the doctrine to which you have called
attention in my book is that which is so fully
elaborated in the theological writings of
Swedenborg. Of him it might indeed be
said, in the forcible language of your article,
she will be regarded as falling entirely away
| from the faith and rendering himself liable
to the imputation of forsaking the Gospel,
when he has forsaken only the old interpre-
tation." Yours very truly,
JULIAN X. SMYTH.
